Exclusive: Napoli close to signing Ospina on a permanent basis
The Colombian goalkeeper has been signed by the partenopei on an initial loan deal from the Emirates Stadium based side. And before Alex Meret came back to full-fitness, Ospina was deputizing very well in goal for the Italian.
We understand that Ospina is expected to sign for Napoli on a permanent basis in the summer.
He is very much willing to join and has already given an approval to a permanent move and contacts have taken place between Napoli and Arsenal for the player in the last few days.
Napoli are expected to pay a fee of little less than 4 million euros to Arsenal to sign the keeper and Carlo Ancelotti has ensured the player that he still is a valuable member of the side.
